Peach Grunt Recipes

PEACH BUCKLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F
• Melt the butter in a 10 inch cast iron skillet.
• Put the peaches in a bowl and sprinkle them with the granulated sugar. Let sit.
• In your main mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and brown sugar. Try to get out any large lumps in the sugar.
• Whisk the egg and buttermilk together and add it to the bowl, along with the melted butter and extract. Whisk to combine, but don't over beat.
• Pour the batter into the skillet, and then top with the peach slices (along with any juices.) You can sprinkle the top with raw or sanding sugar if you like.
• Bake in the center of the oven for about 50 minutes until golden and set. Cover loosely with foil toward the end of cooking if the top seems to be browning too quickly. You can do a toothpick test if you like, but keep in mind that a buckle, like a brownie, is best when moist inside and not over baked.
• Serve warm with topping of your choice.
• To make the whipped sour cream topping, whip the sour cream, heavy cream, and sugar until it holds soft peaks.

PEACH AND BLUEBERRY GRUNT

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Butter a wide shallow ovenproof dish.
• Blend the corn starch with the orange zest and juice, and put in a large pan with the sugar.
• Peel, halve, stone and slice the peaches and add to the pan.
• Bring slowly to the boil, stirring gently until the sauce is shiny and thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, stir in the blueberries and tip into the prepared dish.
• Tip the flour into a mixing bowl and add the 50 g butter.
• Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs, then stir in half of the sugar.
• Mix the remaining sugar with the cinnamon and set aside.
• Add the milk to the dry ingredients and mix to a soft dough.
• Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly.
• Roll out to an oblong roughly 16 x 24 cm.
• Brush with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with the spicy sugar.
• Roll up from one long side and cut into 12 slices.
• Arrange around the top of the dish, leaving the centre uncovered.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the topping is crisp and golden.
• Serve warm.
